Snowdrops


Everyone;

To celebrate my "freedom" ......my job ended after 14 years yesterday.....we
took a walk in the early spring afternoon.  We went to an old railroad
property....no rails anymore, and the property is only minimally maintained.
 There were old trees, beeches in particular, which must have witnessed the
construction of the original railway, at least.....one fantasizes that they
were here before Columbus, but that is a stretch.    The best thing of all
were the snowdrops.  If not millions of them, then at least many, many
thousands.  A  whole walk, of an hour's duration, punctuated by the cheery
snowdrops in clumps of at least 100,  and clumps everywhere.  Spring is
coming, folks, and I can count on it; the snowdrops are never far wrong.

Now to our move; off to region 8,  zone 3, northern Wisconsin.  HELP,
everyone!!!!!!

What shall I grow??????

Gloria Fairhead, early am Saturday, warm at dawn,  a few hardy daffodils, one
or two buds of Magnolia in the Baltimore sheltered spaces, and lots of
aforementioned snowdrops.  Zone 7.
